Women Forced Naked at Qatar Airport File Lawsuits

Jakarta, Insertlive –

An Australian woman reveals how they were forcibly stripped at Qatar Airport by officials who rounded up all the women for invasive genital examinations in search of the mother of the baby left at the terminal.

The woman admitted that her panties were torn because they had been removed before a genealogical examination. The anonymous woman demanded the authorities to punish the people behind their horrific treatment.

The 13 women who were forced to be naked were on a flight using Qatar Airlines to Sidney from London on October 2, 2020.

It is understood that Qatari authorities are searching for the mother of the baby who was found alive in the trash bin of Hamad International Airport in Doha and rounding up all female passengers of childbearing age for a search. The women were forced naked for examination of body cavities. It is horrific and can be traumatizing.

A group of Australian women are currently bringing Qatari authorities to justice for what they believe is a violation of human rights. They also said they would not accept any form of apology until they saw justice done.

A confession from a woman named Anna said about the incident that made her traumatized. Initially there was an intercom announcement asking the women on board to get off and bring their passports. He thought there had been a case of terrorism and he was very scared.

“I thought we would be kidnapped or detained. I was afraid we would be raped and my child would be taken and we would never see the family again,” Anna said.

Anna also said that the incident was very terrible and made her experience Fright for days.

“It was the scariest moment of my life. I was crying and shaking and holding my baby. I didn’t want to take an elevator with armed guards who didn’t know where we were going.”

Later, Anna reveals how they forced her off clothes.

“She (the female officer) held my underwear, then she let it go,” she said.

Besides Anna, a grandmother Kim Mills revealed what happened in the ambulance, “She (the female officer) told me to take off my pants and they need to check my vagina,” he said.

He immediately refused by insisting that he did not want to do the ridiculous things the airport officials wanted. But the officer didn’t explain anything, they just said they wanted to see my vagina.

“We need to see that (vagina), we need to see that,” said Mills impersonating airport officials.

Although the Qatari government called the incident unacceptable, they have not apologize to female passengers who are now psychologically affected. Qatar Airways also refused to make a formal apology to those on board.

Therefore, now these Australian women have decided to take legal action against Qatar Airways and the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority on charges of assault, beating and deprivation of liberty.

A legal adviser to Damian Sturzaker of the law firm Marque expressed his opinion regarding this incident.

“The incident violates many international agreements and clearly violates human rights,” Damian said.
